i have noticed recently that my tranny will pop out of 4th with very little pressure applied to the shifter. i can also pop it out of 3rd if i try a little harder, and 2nd if i push. the rest seem to stay in gear with me applying more pressure.

normal or not? i tried search and found a few threads but i hate to post something this sensitive in UTH for fear of crap getting posted.

advise, thanks,

matt

 

I say normal. Since the engine and transmission are rotating at the same speed it only takes a little force to move it out of gear. It's basically rev matching. You can shift your car without a clutch, I do not recommend it!

 

I see "input on tranny issue" and I started wondering if our boy here was being chased by freaky transvestites!!! RUN AWAY!!!

 

If it starts to pop out on it's own (no push from you) then there is an issue.

 

I was so

 

thanks for the input, the title was there to titillate but i needed some serious replies and i got them. thanks again for the replies.
